The Silver Question.

The London Times of recent date
SAYS: The hopes of the bi-metalists
in this country have been unexpect-
edly dashed in the rudest manner by
Herr DR.. jacob, the new Financial
Secretary of the Empire. At sitting
of the Reichstag, he stated that the
Imperial Government had recently
resold to the Egyptian Government
all of the remaing stock of silver bars,
and also considerable portion of its
silver thalers not in circulation,
amounting to about 100000. DR..
jacob said. "The making of Egypt
ian coins at the Berlin Mint was due
to the proposal on the part of the
Egyptian Government to buy some of
our silver bars. This request was
complied with in order to obviate the
continued loss of interest thereon,
quite apart from its attitude to the
currency question. The Government
has been mainly guided in the matter
by practical considerations. Of course
no pressure on the price of silver
coined can be exercised in the bar
gain, which has come so secretly. For
similar reasons also during the cur
rent year, the remainder of our stock
of silver bars was handed over to the
Egyptian Government, and in order
to fully satisfy the wants of Egyptian
coinage, small portion of the exist
ing stock of thalers, amounting to
SI,25O,OOO, was likewise melted down"
There is great JOY in the monometalllst
camp at the revelation of this sale of
German silver to a foreign govern
ment. 1t is hailed by the Liberals as
the unequivocal resumption of the
silver sales which were suspended in
1879. On the other hand, the Con
servatives are nearly beside themselves
with disappointment at this dashing
of their hopes. The organ of the bi-
metallists, Tie Kreuz Z6ituag, INDUCES
in doleful lamentation over what it
calls this personal defeat of Prince
Bismarck.

New Points Developed-Six Hundred Wit
nesses Will be Subpoenaed.
PIrrsBURa, April A.-Some new points in
the Panhandle railroad robbery werc de-
velcped to-day. The detectives having the
matter In charge are very retioent, bat claim
to have evidence that will lesd to the CON-
viction of number of men who have not
yet been arrested. Detective Gilkinson, in
conversation with reporter this morning,
said: "a leading tailor solicited an inter-
view with me yesterday, saying he was max
ing up some stolen goods for train men.
went down and found pair of pantaloons
that he had just completed for john Kirk
wood, who is under arrest. The goods were
stolen from train. Suits had been made
for Others" More or less confidence is
expressed among the friends Of the impris-
oned men that not enough evidence oan be
produced to secure their conviction, but
there viii be an abundance Of witnesses at
any rate. Detective Gilkinson says fully
600 witnesses will be subpoenaed, coming
from all parts of the country. Il is said that
tho railroad company will only press the
suits against those having more than one
charge against them, having decided to use
as witnesses many who are now in jail. The
defense viii rely largely on the matter Of
doubtful identity, holding that in the dark
ness 1t IL impossible to clearly identify the
faces ofpeople, especially when their faces are
covered with the CRIME and grease Of the
trains.

A New Labor Movement.

NEW YORK, April ia Boston special
says: "a new labor movement has been
started in New ENGLAND which will to some
extent weaken the Knights of Labor organi-
cation. A large number Of boot and shoe
cutters of New England have formed an in
dependent union. It is intended by the pro-
jectors of the movement to give the union
scope similar to that of the lasters' protect
i've union. Delegates were elected and act
ing in accordance with their instructions,
held meeting Saturday ct the American
house. Resolutions were adopted stating
the object Of this union is to secure q mi
form rate of wages, according
to the amount and quality
of work done, also states that strikes and
lockouts are wrong in principle and tend to
work harm, and are not for the interests of
either employer or employee and should not
be resorted to until all other measures fail.
A committee is soon to be appointed to thor
oughly organize every city and town in New
England, and from appearances it is thought
by members of the executive board that
nearly all cutters will have joined before the
end Of the year. Over 6,U00 boot and shoe
cutters of New England we're represented at
the meeting.

HE Is IN KANSAS.

The Leader of the Panhandle Gang SAID to
Be at Large in This State.
P1rrsBuRa, Pa, April 15.-It appears that
the most important arrest in the Panhandle
case is yet to be made. A former conduo-
tor on the road named Connolly is supposed
to have been the leader of the gang and to
have gotten away with an immense
amount of plumber. Somehow or other
he got wind sometime ago that the
raid would be made and skipped. He il
now in Kansas, but an officer has been sent
after him and it is expected he will be ar
rested and brought back to this city next
week. Between thirty and thirty five of the
arrested railroaders will waive q hearing
and will give bonds to await the action of
the grand jury. In speaking of the robbery
to-day Special Agent Rue said they
would be able to identify every article re-
covered. however small, to tell by whom it
was shipped, the date of shipment, the Car
in which it was contained, the names of the
fireman and the crew of the train, all the
places ut which the car laid over,

hands through which the stolen articles
passed and the name of the party to whom
each article was consigned. "We know

The Remains Of President Linceln and
His wife Deposited In the North Vault
Of tho Monument.
CHuAoo, April 14-An Inter Ocean special
from Springfield, Ill, says: The remains Of
President and Mrs. Linooln were privately
taken from their secret resting rlacs this
morning and entered in the north vault
of the Lincoln monument In Oakridge
cemetery in this city. Less than
dozen persons, members of tho Lincoln
Monument association and Lincoln Guard
whereabouts of the remains of the great
president and his wife have been held in
mystery, lest they be stolen to obtain huge
reward for their return. The actual
attempt to carry of the bodies in 1876 was
the cause of tho formation Of the Guard of
Honor, which organization secreted them
and to-day surrendered their charge.
Great care was taken to keep
the event of this morning q profound
secret. At the appointed hour few besides
tho little knot of guards were present. Tho
secret grave directly under the north base
of the obelisk was about 30 feet from the
north entrance, but only accessible through
the south door. A door on the north
Of the hole where the Lincoln relics
are kept leads through long dark passage,
first east, then north, then west and then
south to a recess. Here about three fest
below the surface of the floor were deposited
the remains of Abraham Lincoln and his
wife. The body of Mr.. Lincoln was in
walnut coffin lined with tight lead lining
one-eighteenth of an inch thick. Tho wal
nut coffin was in q cedar box and the
cedar box was enclosed in pine box. Mrs.
Mncoln's remains were similarly enclosed.
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. Lincoln was
shot. When the guards with the .laborers
had exhumed the collins and the lid Of the
presidents was removed, his face Was seen
to be in q remarkable state of preservation.
Those who stood around and had known
Lincoln when alive. easily discovered
the features. They were very distinct.
The silver plate on the coffin lid was bright
On it was inscribed the following:
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1887-04-23
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
BORN FEBRUARY L. 1900;
DIED APRIL IL, 1861

While the remains Of Mr.. Lincoln were
exhumed to view, General Reeoe, president
of the guards of Honor, turned the remains
of Mr.. Lincoln over to the Lincoln Monu-
ment association. A certificate was signed
by the members of the Guards of Honor
certifying that the remains in the coffin
were those received from the Lincoln Monu-
ment association in 1873. The Monument
assooiation made out certificate
signed by the members for the
records of the association declaring the
remains to be those of Abraham Lincoln.
The undertaken was then directed to seal the
coffin and plumber sealed it up. The coffin
was then taken out by the workmen and
carried around to the vault on
the north side. The members OF the
two associations and stranger or two who
happened to be looking at the monument
followed. In the north vault the floor had
been taken up, hole eight feet long by six
wide and five and one-half deep, bricked up
and oemented, had been prepared.
The presidents coffin was placed in
this grave on the west side. The
coffin containing Mrs. Lincoln's remains
was then brought to the vault and placed on
the east side of her husband. A brick arch
was then built over the coffin. This was
covered with cement mixed with
small broken rock. Two guards
will be on duty ct tho
tomb until the cement becomes
hard. The marble sarcophagus in which
the public supposed the remains to be ia still
in the vault. Without further ceremony the
remains of husband and wife were laid away
to molder together in tho grave.
